Ultimate

Ultimate it i s a GREAT sport that is not very well known yet.

Ultimate, originally known as ultimate Frisbee, is a non-contact team sport originally played by players with a flying disc (Frisbee). The term Frisbee, often used to generically describe all flying discs, is a registered trademark of the Wham-O toy company, and thus the sport is not referred to as Ultimate Frisbee. Points are scored by passing the disc to a teammate in the opposing end zone. Other basic rules are that players must not take steps while holding the disc, and interceptions, incomplete passes, and passes out of bounds are turnovers. There is no referee which allows players to solve any conflict themselves. Ultimate is fantastic to build sportsmanship skills.

Mr. Raphael Vanderheyden, the PE teacher at Kensington School has played this sport for years and came to our school on Oct. 10th to show 4th grade the basics of Ultimate.
